Seasonality & the Archaeology of a Year

3 December 2016

My trip to Thailand at the end of November/beginning of December fell into the official mourning period for King DBhumibol Adulyadej. Thousands of people dressed in black gathered at the Grand Palace in Bangkok to pay their respects to their King’s human remains. Although no longer among his people, the King’s presence is all the more palpable as portraits of him are dominating the cityscape.
